{"product_id":"9781593930349","title":"Life at the Top","description":"\u003cp\u003e\"Life at the Top: Inside New York's Grand Hotels,\" a celebrity biography of some of New York's grandest and most romantic hotels, contains dozens of original stories about famous literary, theater and movie personalities. Author Ward Morehouse III, a columnist for AM New York, former columnist for the New York Sun and the New York Post and a staff correspondent for 10 years for the Christian Science Monitor, briefly chronicles the lives of many of the 20th Century's literary and artistic giants who lived at the Plaza, Waldorf-Astoria, Algonquin, St. Regis, Carlyle, Chelsea and many other hotels. Morehouse paints a unique portrait of their glamorous, exciting, touching and sometimes tragic lives in the golden era of New York hotels and theater, bringing the two worlds together in a work that reads like great fiction. He reconfirms his status as a superb chronicler of Americana as well as one of our most engaging storytellers.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"BearManor Media","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47055158837488,"sku":"9781593930349","price":19.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781593930349_p0.jpg?v=1763809370","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781593930349","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
